there's a bunch of unused computer labs at my college. i'm tempted to go install this on each and everyone i can. the only problem is they have software on there computer that goes to Restore Point everytime the computer is turned on. i can probably install it on a total of 6 computers here at my house.

Sounds cool. I have an idea and will help you if you need... write a letter to some head honcho at the college asking if you can install the program on the workstations or any computer. Explain it's for a good cause and that it can generate good publicity for the college (ex. newspapers might write that the college is doing it).

With most colleges having the latest computer hardware, should be some good crunching. We'd show the other teams who is boss!

Hmmm, might as well. What's a decent amount of work units you think it should be? 100?

There, I finally 1000 units worked on for TSC. Took a long time, since I can only manage about 50 units a day on this laptop, my only node. I need to get my desktop going so I can overclock it and run many many times higher for my units.

Thanks for showing me such a great program to use.

So i'm happily crunching away (also serving as excellent burn in program, and a bit more interesting than Prime95).

I've seen you mention stuff about our team being in 50th place, 49th place, where are you getting this info? Is it cuz you're our fearless team leader, or is there a place on the TSC website to check that?
